Because you'll be a freshman, you'll of course be initiated by the dorm girls, then too, there is the matter of tele- phone duty, and the traditional Christmas answer, Mary Trowbridge, Merry Christmas all in one breath. Serenades by the frosh fellows, mail from home fand checksl, reducing exercises, figur- ing out how to make the ceiling stay up when you decorate for house formals, studying for exams, midnight spreads, and a roommate from whom to borrow clothes will all make up your life. Of course, you'll experience a few pie-beds and find cracker crumbs when you crawl into bed all worn out from cramming for finals. Don't fall prey to the favorite phrase, just one more hand or youfll find that you have a maior in bridge instead of history! The Christmas dinner with candles, turkey, and carols is always swell, and there is nothing on earth that seems as good as the tea Miss Boys serves every afternoon during exam week. l'll never forget when limmy's Butch produced nine white baby rats, we really ex- pected a banner headline in the lndexl So you see, regardless of WHAT happens, some- thing always happens in Trowbridge, jglffxy 98 Dr. Chase s SIDELIGHTS Parlor, bedroom, and kitchen is Just a synf onym for at home in Trowbridge, Their rooms are where the dorm girls study, indulge in loetweenfmcal snacks and midnight spreads, and -:tcal a live to live-thirty snooze in the afternoon lt may have a few disadvantages, but it has com- panionship and fun, and its 'flioiiio' Sundays and evenings after dinner, or at house meetings, informal groups gather in the parlcrs to play the piano and sing before beginning more serious efforts of concentration on history and philosophy. Such groups as these are a not too frequent sight around Trowbridge and should be promoted ofteneri Frequent visitors of the smoking room tell us we must label this the Den of lniquity lnhabif tants of this favorite camping ground have their own code ot ethics in the form of twelve rules nailed tc the door, a volunteer tire brigade, and a never-ending game of bridge. The room serves as a beauty parlor, newspaper Cto get the latest gossipll, reading room, study hall, game room, art gallery, and oh, yes-a smoking room' The Trowbridge beauty salon enjoys a flour- ishing shampoo and finger-wave business, with an especially gratifying rush before formals. Although customers are often required to wait patiently, with hair dripping, while the operator talks on the phone, the finished product is gen- erally conceded to get results . l HOBEN HALL, in spite ot the newness of its structure, has many activities carried over from the Williams and Stockbridge days. Each year, two dances are held at l-lobenp there is a closed Thanksgiving party, and a Christmas celebration when the men exchange gitts-ahl sweet memories of last December. In the tall, the lounge is the scene of a reception given for the men of the faculty. For the uninformed, the structure of the building is in the shape of a C -it a C had square corners-thus producing what is fondly referred to as the North and South wings. Then the architect tucked a sturdy partition immediately in the middle ot l-loben Csome say it tends to discourage egg rolls which might be celebrated from North to South and vice versa if the whole length of the hall had been lett enticingly openl, lUO A bull - session before the lire- place. ln either ot the wings below the first floor, are game rooms where the lads release their pent-up en- ergy in rousing games ol billif ards, ping-pong, Tunic, fan-tan, pool, and bridge. A real crop of experts is emerging as a result of many hours whiled away in this last-named sport, One flight up is what is usually referred to as The spacious lounge ot- ibut it really ist where receptions are held and dances given. During Homecoming I-loben en- tertains with open house activi- ties, and everything is whipped into shape for the approving eyes ot the co-eds who peer reticently into the rooms. House government is presided over by a president who is elect- ed each semester. William Burt and Lewis Neelands shared the honors this year. Meetings are held once a month followed by sings into which every member enters enthusiastically. Gilmer Robinson is house director.

The beauty of any yearbook lies in its pictorial artistry. Hence, the pleasure from this book will be derived primarily from the excellent photography displayed on nearly every page This is not written as a credit to ourselves-it is a tribute to the unique ability of Charles Krill, whose masterful technique and clever skill with the camera have brought about a reincarnation of campus activities. For an enormous task, welledone, the staff wishes to express its appreciation, We wish also to thank lack Nuthall, Robert Boram, the Kalamazoo Gazette, and Ernest Robinson for pictures, as Well as students who donated snapshots, but it is largely to Chuck Krill we offer our praises and sincere appreciation.

IUSTIN H. BACON Professor of French, Secretary of the Faculty To quote a certain author in our midst, hes a neat deflator of balloonsfewe might add especially on the day the Index appears. From his office come those fatal white slips which too often tell a story-at home FRANK B BACHELOR Business Manager Some one has said, Love may make the world go round, but money oils the bearings, and hes the one who regulates the oil, We all have dealings with him, and hes the same helpful and understanding friend to everyone. CHESTER S BARNARD Director of Athletics A coach by any other name might do the work, but its Chester who gives ur: those championship teams. He has what it takes and we appreciate it, so all hail to the teams and the coach. HELEN lvl. BOWIE Assistant to Librarian One of her duties is to keep the library quiet, even though it doesnt suit her southern instinct for hospitality. Therefore, she paces the library and guiets the offenders, but she's really as young and lively as the noisiest of them. ROBERT F, CORNELL Professor of Political Science Someone has said, Good things come in small packages, and thats how the poly sci classes feel about Bobby Cornell. In case you don't know, hes the short, little man, who always wears a hat and carries a brief case. FRANCES DIEBOLD Associate Professor of Biology lust like many of us, she abhors eight oclocks, and Dame Rumor whispers that she even keeps her clock three quarters of an hour fast so she can sleep longer, Biology majors call her Dibby and are always praising her seminars WILLIS F DUNBAR Assistant Professor of I-listory lOn sabbatic leavel His I have prepared for your edification and amusement has become a cam- pus classic. A booming voice, griddle cake breakfasts, marching bands, stimulating history classes, the Alma Mater song-iust reminders of one whose return next year we anxiously await. MARION H. DUNSMORE Professor of Religion To parody a popular western song, O show us the place, where Dunsmores not roamed , for he loves to travel, Hes a great sports enthusiast whether he sits in the bleachers or plays on the volleyball court. RUTH IOHNSON DUNSMORE' Teacher of Piano Her students love her kind and sympathetic teaching, while we all enjoy those musically soothing chapel programs in which she takes part. Especially do we like those piano and organ duets which: she and Mr, Overley do so well. VIRGINIA EARL Assistant Professor of French With her perfect poise, fashionable clothes, sleek black coupe, and knowledge of French, she is often held in awe by freshmen. However, when one really learns to know her ldid you know she can wiggle her ears?l she becomes a friend. CAREY K. GANONG Assistant Professor of Economics At times his kindly blue eyes are almost obscured by that very unruly mop of black hair, but he is ever ready to think through a problem with you, whether it concerns the national debt or your insurance policy. CHARLES T. GOODSELL Associate Professor of History Of large stature with booming voice, bushy eyebrows, and sparkling eyes, a true scholar and a kindly friend-a composite of these is our popular history profes- sor. His devotion to organization is something we may well develop and admire him for. LUIKE I. HEMMES Professor of Philosophy and Psychology A friendly, courteous, and hospitable gentleman and philosopher who brightens philosophy lectures with subtle remarks about current theater attractions. Speaking of the theater, what senior or faculty member will ever forget his imitation of a cer- tain famous movie siren? 23 RAYMOND L. HIGHTOWER Assistant Professor of Sociology Although his stature doesnt exactly fit his name, if puns are allowed, one might say he towers mentally. He's noted for fair exams, well-prepared lectures, trips to Chicago, interest in social work, ability to see a joke, and stimulating seminars. KATHRYN A. HODGMAN Director and Instructor in Art The library boasts a small studio where Kazoos embryo artists work under her direction. Through her influence we see unusual art displays. Shes an efficient doc- tor's wife, a competent mother, and a talented artist-all rolled into one package. IOI-IN W. HORNBECK Professor of Physics Although he whistles while he works, he takes his work seriously. He's re- spected for his knowledge and loved for his unconscious humor. Idiosyncrasies- closes windows to draw straight lines and deplores that we havent a decent photo- graph of Venus, astronomically speaking, of course. ' LYMAN S. IUDSON Associate Professor of Speech Flash! A sportily dressed gentleman snapping candid shots of campus person- alities. You may safely bet a Kodak to a ten cent film that it's Dr. Iudson, especially if you see a group of girls, mostly freshmen, somewhere in the vicinity. ALICE B MERRIMAI-I Acting Librarian Shes the keeper ot Minnie Mandelle library's twenty-seven thousand eight hun- dred and ninety-six books In such a position one must meet the public, and she does it with a grace and charm distinctly her own. ARNOLD MULDER Professor of English Love doesn't butter any parsnips' is only one of the unique quotations with which this angler-author-professor delights his classes. Although he hails from the Tulip City and Hope College, our friendly rival, he has become an integral part of life at Kalamazoo. HENRY OVERLEY Head of the Music Department, Teacher of Organ Beloved of musicians and music lovers alike, this master organist is the inspira- tion for that pause in our days occupation -the Thursday musicals, and it those Glee Club reminiscences are right, he's a top-notch trooper and just altogether all right. MABEL PEARSON OVERLEY Teacher of Voice The Christmas Carol service with its twinkling candles and melodious voices, and the Gaynor Club's spring concert, are the result ol her careful direction. But shes more than a directress, for her well-trained voice often delights us in those aforementioned pauses we enjoy so much. ESTHER DEAN RASMUSSEN Teacher of Violin As the French would say, she has the soul and talent of l'artiste fthe sounds like e l which she expresses through the medium of her violin. Her stu- dents say she never fails to detect one of those blue notes. GILMER G ROBINSON Instructor in Physical Education, Director of Intramural Athletics Familiarly known as Gil , he has, in one short year, found his niche in our fellowship through his pleasing, southern personality and athletic ability. Chester likes him, the boys like him, fgirls tooll, the faculty likes him-we all like him. EDWARD C. RUSSEY Acting Director of Band Strike up the bandl And he's the one who can do it. Whats a football game Without a bands harmonious blaring? Whats a basketball game without that cer- tain musical stimulus? And what would Kazoo's band do without it's peppy leader? HOWARD S. SEIFERT Assistant Professor of Physics Many great men have been small and he can join their ranks. Intrigued by that call of Go East, young man, go East, with his family and knowledge, he left the Golden West and has successfully strengthened this Fellowship in Learning. MARY H. SEIFEHT Instructor in Latin She's one of those petite, little teachers whose friendly, charming personality makes a pleasant place of the classroom. Her students answer to their first names, and she delights them with modernized myths as the one in which Mercury invented the barbecued sandwich. HERMON H. SEVERN Professor of Greek and Latin, Emeritusg Dean, Emeritus. The freshmen never knew him but love to hear of himg the upperclassmen and faculty know him and love-and miss him.

Next year's football cap- tains talk it over after the Football Victory Banquet. 52 Coach Barnard shows them how it's done. COACHES Yes, sir, he is still putting out charri pionship teams and more of then every year That i'he is none othe than Coach i'Chet Barnard, our atfi letit: director and varsity football, loaf ketball, and track mentor, For the year of l937-38, he has pro basketball, indoor track, and may cap ture the outdoor track title in the 4l:1 annual field day games lf there is anyone who is really a tennis intoxicated tan, it is our own state-wide known tennis coach, Doc Stowe. His greatest ambition is to pro- duce championship tennis squads and this he has been doing, His team this year was the best ever developed in the College history. Doc is also well recognized as a tournament director oi tennis and badminton, and has a two- year appointment to the Board of Con- trol of the Western Lawn Tennis Asso- ciatiori. And then there is popular Gil Robinson, our director of frosh foot- ball, basketball, and golf coach, assistant varsity mentor, director of all intramural sports, plus a few odd jobs such as instructor of badminton, tumbling, and swimming. Gil is a Sudner from North Carolina and can play any sport that may be mentioned. He has won high honors in all mayor sports and has played professional football. In reference to his scholastic ability, Gil has Bachelor and Master degrees in physical education and is co-author of two physical educa tion booklets. 53 duced MIAA champions in football, t fUMl9lliG PDE' HOWARD is everything the name of our basl-:etball captain indicates He may not have been high scorer, but he collected basl-:ets when they 'mer-if most need- ed and was a great moral support with his superb guarding in deciding moments of play lt was his iumping and guarding that helped bring to lfazoo the ziiiich-awaitf-vi ltailtetlvall title .hi ,Ji 'F 6 4 UCONSISTENTM IOHN SOMERS, co-captain of football, still remained the indispensable cog in our gridiron machine His backing up of the line, pass interception and va'uable ei-:perience of last season have been the out- standing and important factors in many of fhe games. IOLLIE ALLEN, a l t h o u g li never having had the honor of playing number one position on the tennis squad, has earned the privilege of being elected captain through his undying interest and support In his three years of varsity competition, he has been one of the top ranking players in singles and doubles 'ASTUBM LANE, the Junior captain, continued last years fine work as a blocking back in addition to his new duties as one of the field generals and signal callers. Though his name was not in newspaper headlines, he Was one of the mainstays behind the scenes, and belongs high in the Hall of Unsung Heroes o' football, H!lFtl:tY RAPLEY deserved to be selected tracl-1 captain for he has been Kazoas out- standing distance and relay runner for the past three years His consistency and earn- estness have given him a place with the Kalamazoo track greats of the past DICK SWIAT had quite a task the last two seasons try- ing to keep Kazoo in the runs ning when it came to golf. And for his hard work and interest, he was elected to the captaincy this year. This sea- son, he was fortunate in get- ting teammates who could shoot low scores so that this well-balanced quartet closed a very sucessful year. AGAIN MIAA CHAMPIONS Not being satisfied with one championship, the sophomores and juniors of last years team and the members of last seasons Frosh team who were com- bined to form a gridiron machine, even better than the l936 champions, captured the l937 title. The going for this year's champions was much harder because they were defending the crown and everyone was out to conquer them and destroy their record of consecutive victories. On the evening of September 24 on College Field, the Golden Horde launched their l937 football cam- paign by overwhelming a strong Albion eleven 22,8 This game added one more number to their string of nine straight victories from last season. In this gridiron tussle, the backfield displayed the desired scoring punch and Bed Hunt continued his l936 brilliance in open field running. The second game took the champions down into Ohio, the longest road trip ever taken by a Kazoo football team, where they contested Wittenberg Col- lege in a non-conference game. Although heavily out- weighed and unable to stop the running attack, Kazoo was in the lead 7-U when the final gun sounded. The kicking of Steve Dalia and lones, the line backing of Somers, and the passing and receiving duet of Hunt and Wood were instrumental in the surprise victory. The Hornets paced by Bed Hunt continued to in- crease the string of victories by completely outplaying the Olivet Comets 33-7 on our field, This encounter was considered a non-conference game because Frosh were used on the Comet squad. Olivet managed to score on Kazoo's second stringers. After coming all the way from Ohio, Bluffton could not achieve the satisfaction of stopping the Hornets' two year winning streak. To their chagrin they found themselves on the short end of a 22-U score. Steve Dalla's line plunging and the Hunt to Wood passes were just too much for the Bluffton gridders. Kazoo's Homecoming game with Hope was one of the real tests for the gridiron machine. The Dutchmen came to College Field unscored on and untied, deter- mined to win the much prized Wooden shoes and upset the Hornets. Led by Dan Wood's sensational runs and passes, Hope was smothered under a 26-O score and was eliminated from the title chances. The Dutchmen were bewildered by the fast running attack and com- mendable blocking. For the first time this year, the Golden Horde had to come from behind to win I5-12 in a second half rally after being outplayed in the first half. Alma, the dark horse of the conference, and undefeated, was con- quered for the first time on their own field at their homef coming game, Anybodys contest to the final whistle, Dallas field goal was the deciding factor, while Somers' pass interceptions and Wood's tackling were of great help in overcoming the Scots, With a 20-I3 triumph over a heavy Hillsdale eleven, Kalamazoo closed a successful and undefeated MIAA campaign. The conflict was evenly matched and hard fought but the Dales were hampered by too many fumbles. Steve Dalla scored all of the 20 points to sur- pass Dan Wood, former high scorer of the Association, by collecting a seasons total of 47 points. Wood was second in total number of points for the year. The final game of the season was a non-conference tilt with Central State Teachers College, when the Hor- nets tasted their first defeat in two years, breaking their string of I7 consecutive victories. The final result was 30-U. Kazoo, demoralized by the size and weight of the opponents and the early scoring, fumbled con- tinuously in the danger zone. The loss of Wood, whose collar bone was injured in the Hillsdale game, was greatly noticed. Kalamazoo College had the honor of placing eight of its football players on the All-MIAA team,three onthe first team and five on the second squad. Somers, one of the best defensive centers in the conference, Wood, one of the best runners and safety men, and Dalla, the best goal kicker in the MIAA were on the first squad. Buskirk, Fowler, Braham, Warren, and Hunt were named to the second eleven. Although some of the team members did not break into headlines their work and hard consistent playing were just as important and outstanding as that of the stars, and without their support there would have been no stars. In the backfield were Rapley, Kramer, Dun- can, Kurth, and Clarke.

K X. 1 - if I 1937 MIAA Football Champions FROST-i With the passage of time, the freshman sport pro- gram has continued to increase in scope, and this year has been one of the most active for the greenlings, due largely to the hard work and coaching of Gilmer Robinson. The football yearfings lost two games and tied the Hillsdale and Hope frosh, seventeen men being awarded football numerals. The Frosh basketball team displayed some unusual technique and skill this season, emerging with four wins and two defeats. Glen Smith captured high scoring honors and Captain Russell Zick was outstand- ing in his ffoor work. Ed Drier, l-lunter, Lemmer, Tait, 1937-38 MIAA Basketball Champions Walker, Nash, and Williams also added to the year- f1ng's fine-up, Losing their first dual track encounter by a small margin of 6OVg-571f2 to Albion, the Hornet Frosh track- sters were not discouraged and also entered in the State Meet at Lansing and the MIAA tournament, Several promising tennis men for future teams emerged among the Frosh netters this spring. They engaged in matches with Michigan State greenlings, Albion and Wayne University Frosh, and George Williams College Varsity, Pour golf meets were scheduled for the freshmen, namely, with St. Augustine, Albion freshmen, Central High varsity, and Grand Rapids number two team. Q6 fl Qi MORE CHAMPS Kazoo's 1937-38 basketball team was built around a group of sophomores and the lettermen from last sea- son. The team entered the MIAA competition as a dark horse, with few chances of capturing the title, and in the end won the race. Kalamazoo College basketeers ushered in the bas- ketball campaign with a non-conference series. They first defeated McKendree College, 42-27 in a toning-up game at the College gym. The Alumni were next in order to be downed, and almost by the same score, 43-25. That week-end the Hornets spent in Detroit playing Wayne University and Detroit Tech. They nosed out Detroit Tech. 26-21 in a hard fought contest, but Wayne had too much speed and polish for the Kazoo quintet and overwhelmed them 47-30. The next non-MIAA opponent was Grand Rapids Iunior College, to whom the Hornets bowed on the former's floor. Our MIAA campaign was initiated at Alma, and the Scots were the victims of revenge for previous losses of the Hornets, for they were conquered 36-27 in the final minutes of the game. Spalsbury was high scorer of the contest. With the varsity five playing only a half, Adrian was swamped under a 66-26 outcome. Harrison Iones broke into the scoring column in this game. On A1bion's court, the Kazoo five tasted their first defeat, 29-37, in this season's MIAA competition and were forced into a second place tie. The fighting Britons were just too determined to win and every ball they threw into the air went into the basket. Next, after trailing almost a whole game, the college basketeers eked out a 38-36 win over Hillsdale to take second place in the MIAA race. lones pulled the game out the fire with two last minute goals. In an overtime period before a packed house in the College gym, the Hornets managed to conquer Hope, the defending champions, in a seesawing and nerve racking game. The final outcome was 38-36. It was Spalsbury who put in the winning basket and captured high scoring honors for the evening. The playing of Howard, Iones, Webb, and Hunt was indis- pensable. This conquest gave our quintet strong hopes for the title. Repeating an earlier performance, Grand Rapids Iunior College again defeated Kazoo by almost the same score of 57-45, with Rapley replacing Webb who was lost to the team for the rest of the season. And again Adrian suffered defeat at the hands of the Col- lege shooters on the former's floor, but this time with a much closer score, 39-30. Making sure that there would be no close score again, the College quintet walloped Hillsdale on the opponents' home grounds, 41-18. This victory put Kazoo into a first place tie with Hope. Iones took the high scoring honors for the evening. Continuing their winning ways, the Hornets drub- bed the last position Olivet five, 50-20, on the latter's floor. Dan Wood appeared in the lineup for the first time and played a fine floor game. Bill Drier received an opportunity to display some of his latent basketball ability in this tussle. The College cagers nosed out the third place team Albion, 33-28, in a very hotly contested battle at our gym. The Britons tried very hard to repeat their earlier victory but the Hornets had too much at stake to lose. Spalsbury and Howard were high point men with ten counters each. This victory placed Kazoo on top with Hope and gave them a chance at the championship. A non-conference game followed when Kazoo de- feated George Williams college in Chicago, 44-23, after which Alma was easily routed 54-30. When Hope downed Kazoo 48-41 at Holland, they assured themselves of a tie for first place necessitating a later playoff. In this contest, the Dutchmen led all the way, but the game was much closer and tenser than the score indicated. Three times the Hornets pulled up to within one point but Hopes guarding was too diffi- cult to penetrate. The Holland Armory was packed to the rafters with rooters from Hope and Kalamazoo, and the game was broadcast to Hoben hall by telephone, with Stan Lane acting as student commentator. The game was a sell-out two weeks in advance. Kramer and Rapley started as first stringers in a game in which Olivet was overwhelmed 57-20, giving Kazoo the right to meet Hope in the playoff to decide the ruler of the MIAA basketball courts. Spalsbury set a new MIAA seasonal high point record of 175 points. Before a capacity crowd of 4,000 people, Kalama- zoo College whipped Hope 44-31 in the playoff on a neutral floor, the Civic Auditorium in Grand Rapids, winning the Conference basketball championship for the first time since 1931. The Hornets were without question the better team when the game ended. It was Spalsbury's and Iones' accurate shooting, Wood's and Howard's guarding, Hunts and Kramers fighting, that brought the title to Kalamazoo after six years. Credit was also due to Rapley, Drier, Clark, and Schwartz who did their best when given the opportunity. The basketball team was honored by a victory din- ner, when members were awarded letters and gold basketballs. Ioe Howard and Dori Spalsbury were elected co-captains for next season. . in V,,.a- TENNIS Kalamazoo College tennis team under the splendid coaching of Doc Stowe continued its Winning ways by sweeping aside all MIAA opponents for the seventh consecutive year, and by conquering highly rated squads throughout the Middle West and South. This seasons schedule was the largest ever undertaken by a l-lornet team, since it included a 2300 mile trip in a circuit of eight states in the South, competing against some of the best netters in that part of the country and matching colleges in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. Shane, the Sophomore number one man, and the College singles champion for the past two years, was the outstanding member on the squad. In IQ37 he re- ceived a national ranking of l6th by the Western Lawn Tennis Association, and teamed with Don Worth, Var- sity number two man, they were ranked 5th in doubles. This duo has been College doubles champions for two consecutive years, The Southern trip initiated a somewhat early tennis season for the varsity racqueteers. Miami University of Ohio was the first victim to be conquered, 8-l. In the second contest, the Hornets suffered the only defeat of the trip at the hands of the Duke University frosh. To vindicate themselves, they downed Wake Forest College 9-U, North Carolina State, 6-3, Presbyterian Col- lege 5-Z, and Eastern Tennessee Teachers College 7-2. The latter was the Smokey Mountain conference cham- pions for two consecutive years. On the entire trip, Shane failed to lose one match and he played some high ranking men in the South, Returning home, the team traveled to Lansing to be defeated 5-4 in a close match by Michigan State. The State netters were too strong in doubles While the singles matches were divided three all, The Hornets compensated this set-back by coming from behind to overpower Grand Rapids lunior College 4-3, by swamping Ypsilanti Normal 6-l, and Loyola College of Chicago 7-U. In the opponents' own back yard, the College rac- quet wielders conquered Ohio State College net men, members of the Big Ten Conference, 5-4. Shane con- tinued his perfect record of no defeats in singles and doubles, Kazoo netters suffered their second setback of the season at Ann Arbor, when University of Mich- igan, another Big Ten member, defeated them 7-2. After a fine display of tennis against non-conference opponents, Kalamazoo College tennis team launched its MIAA championship drive by humbling Olivet 6-l, Hillsdale 7-U, and Albion 7-U. Other matches played were with Wayne University, I-Iope, and Alma Colleges. The squad was entered in the Michigan Mixed Intercollegiates at Western State and the MIAA tournament. The players who contributed to the success of the team and their rankings are as follows: No. l-Shane, No. 2-Worth, No. 3-Captain lollie Allen, No, 4- Iones, No. 5-Born, No. 6-I-lendersong No. 7-A. Clarke. IX! ,AF Indoor Truck Team Outdoor Track Team sJClNf' - - :lf sq? if W The Homet Speedsters perpetuated the MIAA track championships for the seventh straight year, They cap- tured the Indoor track meet at Hillsdale by a comfort- able margin, with Howard and Heerens establishing new records in broad and high jumps, and the half mile. Kalamazoo sent one relay team to the Michigan State Indoor Relays and the quartet copped two events, Five men were entered in the Central Indoor Collegi- ates, at Notre Dame, but the competition was too much for our runners. The College tracksters opened the outdoor track season by capturing a triangular relay meet on Col- TRACK lege field with Olivet and Hope as the contenders, The final results were Kalamazoo 59, Olivet 39, and Hope 32. After being defeated by Grand Rapids lunior Cole lege, the Hornets ran against Alma and Hillsdale in dual meets and were entered in the Beloit Relays at Wisconsin, the State Meet at Lansing, and in the MIAA tournament. Credit is due the following for success in both in-- door and outdoor competition: Captain Rapley, Howard, Ne-elands, Reed, Heerens, Burt, Buslcirlc, lwl, VanKeuren, Wood, Wolfe, Fowler, Kurtz, Clark, War- ren, Kramer, Braham, Blanchard, and Fry. SWIMMING For the tirst time in the history ot the College, Kala- mazoo presented to the public a varsity swimming team, However, there was no MIAA competition. In victories, the season was not a success, but in spirit, organization, and support, the team was to be con- gratulated. The schedule consisted ol eight meets, seven ending in defeat, and one was a tie contest lnexperience greatly handicapped the mermen. The local Y, M C, A tank was the home pool, The team lost twice to Battle Creek College, once to lackson High School, Central High Schocl ot Kala- mazoo, Battle Creek High School, and twice to Battle Creek Recreation Association, and tied lackson Iunior College in a thrilling splash which was contested tc the very last event, the medley relay, In some ot the con- tests, the Hornets were just nosed out by one stroke in many ot the events. The most consistent point collectors were Captain Iohn Lilly, Braham, Colburn, and Davidson. Speyer and Davidson were the diving entrees ot the team As the season progressed, Benedict, Waters, Royce, Nuthall, Nibbelink, Blanchard, Boudeman, OBrien, and Bell showed great improvement. TUMBLING Under the very capable leadership of the student instructor, Fred Speyer, tumbling has continued to exist as one of the prominent activities on the college sport program, There were no meets tor the group because the sport is not recognized by the MIAA. However, their skill and abilities were displayed and tested in exhibi- tion on All College Day, between halves of basketball games, and in shows at the local Y, M, C, A. They also combined their eltorts with other tumbling groups and presented a program tor the All City Picnic. The following in addition to Speyer were the main- stays ol the team according to their rankingi No. I, Bud Moore, No. 2, Packard, No. 3, Iohn Dye: No. 4, Gillespie, No. 5, Snip, No. 6, Myers, No, 7, Burpee, No. 8, Yehle. aouf , lt was because of our weakness in golf, due to inexperience and lack of confidence, that Kala- mazoo lost the All-Sports Trophy last spring after winning three championships out of five sports. Such was not the case this year, however. The team made up of players like Captain Swiat, Shale, Malnight, and Correll, all of whom con- sistently shot scores between 7U and 85, went out and achieved an enviable record. The team opened the season with Grand Rapids junior College, a non-MIAA opponent, who vanquished the Hornets QVZ to 2112. The visi- tors were ranked very high in the state. Malnight was low scorer for Kazoo. ln the MlAA conference curtain raiser, Hills- dale was swept aside IOVZ-llfg on their own course. Malnight brought in the lowest score of the match. Albion was the next conference victim to be subdued Qlfg-ZVQ. Captain Swiat took the low count honors for the day. On home ground, Grand Rapids lunior College made a clean sweep l2-O, to make it two straight vic- tories over our club swingers. However, the Hornets continued to win in confer- ence matches by downing Hope College lllfg-V2 on home course ln this contest, our entire team shot scores in the seventies. -..l 4- l Kazoo split in the next two matches which were with non-MlAA opponents. They traveled to Ypsilanti to be defeated by Michigan State Normal lU1fg-llfg and to Battle Creek to conquer Calvin College 9112-2lf2. The team also had matches with Alma and Olivet in the MIAA and with lllinois State Teachers College. INTRAMURAL SPORTS To the intramural program of l937-38 which was under the very capable guidance and direction of Coach Gilmer Robinson, were introduced three new sports in addition to the previous activities. The pro- gram was the best ever attempted and was received with great interest and large participation. lnaugurating the season, the juniors conquered the seniors in an overtime period for the touch football crown. The basketball tournament was a league of real competition and struggle, as well as close scores. But it took the team under Dick Clarks captaincy to finally settle the question of who was the best quintet. Volley ball was next in line, and the juniors with very good support had the pleasure of taking top honors from the freshmen, who were strong contenders until the end. The seniors broke into the winning column by drowning out the juniors in the local Y. M. C. A. pool for the water polo title. This sport was one of the addi- tions to the intramural program. ln intramural badminton, Buck Shane was crowned ruler, and Ken Rahn annexed the college ping pong title, with Gil Robinson ending as runner-up in both sports. Behind the fine pitching of Red Kurth, the sopho- mores broke into the winning column by taking the softball crown. ln addition to intramural athletics, there was also an intersociety program including swimming, bowling, basketball, track, softball, and tennis. WCDMENS ATHLETICS 62 Tennis - swimming - basketball - volleyball - soccer f badminton - golf - horseback riding - and a little base' ball and archeryfdoes this sound sufficient to keep Kalamazoo cofeds healthy and husky? These have provided an extensive sports program in which nearly all the Women of the college have participated at some time, A few even tried to learn a little tumbling on Thursday evenings. One of the favorite winter occu- pations was skiing and tobogganing down Chapel hill, accompanied by much screaming, laughter, and de- lightfully concluded by head-first dives into the snow ln addition to the sports, dancing and the May Fete have consumed a share of the time lnterpretive dancing classes were held Friday afternoon, being fol- lowed by such remarks as Anyone is supposed to look graceful when they do this step. Starting off with a bang in the fall was the tennis tournament which brought Barbara Worth out with top honors. Peppy fall weather then inspired class soccer games, where bruised shins, freezing arms and legs, and a good time were had by all. Badminton next appeared on the scene, with the McLay sisters, for the second year, ending up in first place. Inter-society basketball displayed the prowess of the Euros. Each society played eight games, which proved to be fast and spirited, although spring vacaf tion caused a decided slipping in basketball techs niaue. Spring breezes called early to tennis fanatics only to have activities stopped by snow, A week later, howf ever, the courts were again filled and inter-society tennis took the fore. ln March, the May Fefe committee headed by Bette Clements, made plans for this annual affair which this year produced an original story 'llanos and Getaway, the tale of a wooden soldier and his horse. On May 25 this colorful event was staged for the pleas- ure of the May Queen, Ann Draper, and her court com- posed of Mildred Spitler, Marjorie Spitler, lane Merson, Agatha Whitcomb, Arleta Turner, and Ruth Sinclair. Individual and team activities were put aside when the women cooperated in the Womens League picnic in the College Grove, and a Winter Sports' night Hillse dale entertained Kazoo co-eds at the MIAA Play Day last fall, continuing an annual affair of three years' standing, This whole program was supervised and arranged for by Miss Gladys Andrews with the aid of Betty Walker, chairman of the womens athletic board, and the committee.

Other dates annually reserved by the Alpha Sigs are the Mothers tea in May, the alumnae meeting with a program given by former members, rummage sales, the Homecoming tea in October honoring the alumnae, the spring formal at Gull Lake, the commencement luncheon, and the Leap Year dance every four years. A much enjoyed tradition engaged in annually just before Christ- mas vacation, is when the Sigs go in a group to sing carols at the faculty homes. The program this year has been varied, including speakers, bool: reviews, travel talks, and a newly decorated society room has added to the enthusiasm of the members in attending.

Never before has last minute news of immense importance come so often and so late, This was a chaotic year as far as campus events go, and lohnny and the boys spent more than one Wednesday night scrapping the previously made-up front page and starting all over again with a two-inch banner head. The INDEX itself took pleasure in causing some mild excitement of its own throughout the year, for instance when it came out at Homecoming in a novel streamlined dress. That aroused much comment pro and con, and heres a secretfthere were certain members of the staff who thought it was Wonder- ful-it cut down the headline Writing fifty percent Not that headlines aren't fun to mull over, Eleanor can vouch for that. And lack Grabber was fond of that make-up, too, for his clever features really got the spotlight-right across the top of the page. Another innovation the paper introduced this year was the series of editorials on the front page. This was a part of the policy of the editorial staff which steadfastly maintained an aggressive attitude in upholding the 92 interests of the College. As the venerable editor, Iohn the Third, ceremoniously proclaimed one afternoon, We have dodged no issue where there was room for constructive criticism, and l cannot help but feel that our liberal attitude has ennervated the entire paper and encouraged more student response. Perhaps it was due to the large number of athletes on the staff, led by the enthusiastic and versatile Stan Lane, and also to the fact that the College was in the groove as far as sports championships were concerned, but at any rate the activities in that field were played up considerably this year, fre- quently rating first position on the front page. However, Iudy and her reporters kept in mind the fact that the paper is the only Written record of the current events of the College, that it alone func- tions to preserve the campus activities, and so tried to cover every story in every field. One of the biggest jobs of the year was to strive to balance the budget and decrease the deficit, and it is a wonder that lack Nuthall succeeded so Well in doing his part where this is concerned, for so much of his time was occupied by his efforts to put real umph into the theatre blurbsl 93 3, j ,-tw' -,-, .-gf-. 7... A-.sw When it gets to the point Where the editor wakes up in the night to ask her roommate it she has just been out easter egg rolling and when the business manager begins to travel about with that glazed look in his eye-it means the Boiling Pot, with its accompanying worries, is well un- der Way. But no undertaking is worth While which does not call torth some anxiety, some discouragement, and much pref occupied thinking. And now that deadline fright has passed and we no longer lie awake nights trying to create ideas, we realize what tun it has been to produce your Boiling Pot, and feel it has been worthwhile.
